Intonation results taken when playing loud and not lipping. See how to interpret these results on the Wooden Clarinets main page.This
test was made with the too long barrel. I needed to pull out in the
center almost 2mm, although that helped very little. It may have
contributed to the low High Register.

Intonation
summary: I get much different results if I use a real cane reed rather
than my favorite Legere reed, that is I am able to play all the flat
notes in tune. But as a result, many of the perfectly in tune notes in my test then
go sharp. Even though this was probably made as a professional model
instrument, by today's standards, it is an intermediate level
instrument.

Key work quality: Superb. This has cool wavey-shaped right trill keys (pictured below), and very unusual separate posts for the Aflat/Eflat (above).

The C#/G# key also has the end post separate from the one next to it. Only the higher level Leblancs have this feature.

This clarinet is most appropriate for: Intermediate to fairly advanced musicians.
